Baby Shower - Baby Thais

Today, lets get into baby-fever mode for a bit because I will be telling you everything (well, maybe not everything but a lot) about my baby cousin's baby shower for baby Thais (my precious little 2 month old niece). 

Journal

Writing is a way to escape from a part of my life and a way to relax after several events going on with it. Sometimes we write a journal, a diary, moods, on paper, on a sticky-note, in our phones, in a tablet, on a word document, in twitter, in facebook and all the social media which involves the art of drawing thoughts with the written word. 

For me, writing in a more public way in the internet is a risk, of people I know reading everything that goes through my mind and even sometimes people who I have no idea on who they are read all of it and I am not sure why they keep reading. 

After some time being mute in the blog, my feeling was "man I miss this". This is my journal, my everyday escape from a part of reality which I don't hate, but neither loath to death. Writing is a passion. I have several projects which involve the written word in several aspects, where I can pour my imagination and my experience with the one love I have. 

Here a fragment of one of my most secret projects yet, which I won't reveal just yet, but wanted to have it on record here. 

"What is a dream after all? A dream is what your heart desires and your brain makes an image of it and flashes it while sleeping, or even while being awake, like an endless movie that just needs to continue." 

The writing might be sloppy, but it is still a working project which needs to be taken care of in order for it to grow. 

I feel somewhat attached to the story line which I have been creating for a while for dreams we dream and lives impossible to avoid. 

I hope you liked a little of it.

Beneath the Glitter.

I purchased yesterday the book and I have already finished it. It was a fun, light and girly read. The plot line was nice, the type to make you forget your hard days and just breath in some light and sheer pink novel to make it all better.

HERE IS WHERE THE SPOILER ALERT BEGINS!

Pampering time: Chanel products

I am all about wearing makeup. I don't use it myself everyday, but every once in a while, for special occasions, or just a random day of the week, is good for me. It gives that little boost of confidence you need and it just makes you act your part a little better when you need to be fully drawn into your daily to do's. But it may be tricky if you are not used to wearing it! It happened to me once. I was not fully aware that my face was all dolled up, I yawned and rubbed my eyes... yes, you might guess what happened next. I looked like a raccoon. Horrible, horrible thing, so that is why I am extra cautious and extra aware of my every move.  

This post is about what I would love to have in my collection for that extra pump. Specially from Chanel. Lets hop into it. 

1. Blush in JOUES CONTRASTE, shade 72 Rose Initiale

2. Lipstick, ROUGE COCO, shade 05 Mademoiselle 

3. Eyebrows pencil, CRAYON SOURCILS, shade 30 Brun Naturel

4. Makeup Remover, DÉMAQUILLANT YEUX INTENSE

Those are the products I would love to pamper myself with at some point, and the price ranges are not that bad, I might start with the eye makeup remover. You can check these and more products here. 

I hope you are enjoying your day, cause I am certainly doing so!

Bye August!

Happy end of the month people! 

It's been a great month (but also so sad) . From the beginning to the end. I loved going back to University and switching up my style a bit. The cooler months are the best for me, I love bundling up in warm clothes, and layering is my favourite statement. 

I have so much things going on these months and upcoming weeks, from reading to events that I'm super excited for. When the time comes, I might be able to share them with you! I have nothing set in stone for some projects but lets see what come along! 

In general, I hope September is as good as August and that it will open some more doors for me. 

I hope you had a great month and that are enjoying every second of life.

Back to School: Notebooks

Hey Everyone!

I have been supply shopping for University and came across some pretty notebooks. I always, always, always use notebooks, binders, for me, are just so bulky and non-functional at all. What I do, is buy 2 of 5 subject squared paper notebooks and divide them  with in the classes I have. Lined paper is just not something I like. 

The notebooks I bought where from a local brand called Norma, which has a wide variety of designs. I tend to gravitate to the pretty and girly and fun designs. Last semester I bought one with Hello Kitty in the cover, which also came with...wait up! STICKERS! Oh I'm such a small kid with my sticker mania :) 

This semester I went for this cute Chococat cover one.

And this Paul Frank one.

I am taking 7 classes, 5 from this semester and 2 from an advanced one to make my next semester a little less stressful. 

You always have to go for the method you like the most and works out for you the best way. I like my notebooks for note taking and I literally write every important piece of the class into them.

I hope you are having a great week!

Beauty Vlogger Bootcamp: And now what?

Hey everyone! 

I know I haven't done any posts in the last few weeks commenting about the show and the finalists. I will not bore you with excuses because I have non really, I just got distracted by other topics. So now, I will give you my comments on the season's finally and the couple last episodes which were Rachel's  and Giselle's final challenges and vlogs for the viewers in order to get to know them better in their more relaxed and not crazed selves. 

The volg that Rachel prepared for the challenge was about how to style an outfit for different moments of the day, a relaxed morning, an afternoon with friends having lunch or at a night's date or a girl's night out down town. It was super didactic and super useful. It really showed how she rolls and made her personality shine through the entire video. 

On the other hand we had Giselle's vlog which was about going from plain, yes plain, to polished. She gave a lot of good advise and tips and tricks to spice up your face and your looks if you are running wild through the day and have little time to prep for the different events of the day. She has a really good know-how on her topics and shows it. 

Both contestants did a great job on their final vlogs and just knocked some people off their feet. In the end, Rachel won but was just a 100 or so votes ahead Giselle. This shows how good both vlogs were and had a very tight margin of competition. 

Rachel will have her own show on uLookHaute called "Ready, Set, Rachel", which will start airing August 8 and will be up every Wednesday. 

And as for Beauty Vlogger Bootcamp? Well, they will have a second season! I am excited to see what new challenges are they going to put new contestants through and how are they going to respond. Casting has already started and you can find all the details here if you are in the USA and want to submit your video to them :)

Check the winning vlog here!

and the promo for her Wednesdays show: 

Sorry for this very long and wordy post, I just felt like writing today! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and I'll talk to you later!

Agenda: Crazy Student

Hey Everyone!

I am a crazy student when it comes to organize everything and wanting to know what to do with my time. With all the tasks and exams and tests and presentations it always comes in handy to have an agenda that will make you have everything sorted out. 

For this year, I've bought one really nice and it was cheap and I just love it. It was hand made and is covered in fabric. A very original one and a very representative style from the Peruvian Highlands. It has a complete page for a day and goes from January to December. 

The academic year here starts on March and ends the first days of December. In University we have two semesters, one starting the month mentioned at the beginning (March) and the other semester beginning on August (that was quite a representation haha) 

I buy an agenda every year! I just can't live without one because I'm pretty sure I will miss out on a lot of things to do. I might not even show up to a TEST! which would be a tragedy. I actually don't get how some people remember everything they have to do without one..or maybe they just don't...huh? well this is the current one I'm using and I feel it's so good and pretty. It is cushioned even! 

It's small and great to throw in your purse and have it with you all day. Normally I will write in it with a blue or black pen, I am really weird about that but what I like to do is to use highlighters when I need to mark the things I have already done for the day (as you may see in some of the pages in blue highlighter). 

Tell me if you'd like me to do some post about my University life experience or else related with my career and such! I would be pleased to answer and share my experiences with you guys!
